So let's say you did have a rare time when the slate humps up in the middle. (I don't know,maybe it was stored improperly for years).how would you get the hump out because raising/shimming the out side would only lift the whole piece.
Side to side, or end to end? Thats like asking how do you get a blemish out of the finish of a cue?
I have a center pull down system designed to handle that. But a lot of what you can and can't do depends largely on the design of the table.
I'll give you an example, take a GC4 let say. The 4 has 2 major cross supports running across the frame at both seams, but simply pulling the slates down at those 2 points may not do the trick to pull the center down on each slate. In order to do that you have to be able to pull the center of each slate down, but because of the design, there's no support braces running down the middle of the table lengthwise, so you'd need to modify the frame support first before you could install my pull down system.
It must require the addition of a huge piece, if as we have seen, a 2 1/4 X 6 1/2 inch of laminated can't do the job!
Nope, just the stock slate supports used on the GC1,2,3's will do just fine.It must require the addition of a huge piece, if as we have seen, a 2 1/4 X 6 1/2 inch of laminated can't do the job!
